Lean Agile Coaching
Our Lean Agile coaching is customer-centric and would be adapted specifically for you.
Why Lean Agile Coaching?
With tenability as our first core value, let Upgrading Self (US) coach and train your teams and executives to be Agile and to do Scrum with credibility.
The good thing about Agile methodology is that it is an umbrella for industry-proven frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, Extreme Programming, DevOps and more. Some organizations and teams adopt hybrids of these frameworks.
We can train your executives and teams to become Scrum professionals: Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Scrum Developers, so, if you want industry-standard certifications, we can also help arrange that for you.
We offer very reduced prices compared to our competitors because we promote and participate in the Igbo Apprenticeship System (IAS) of business. You can learn more about the IAS on Wikipedia or Harvard Business Review.
Why Scrum?
According to State of Scrum 2017-2018, from a survey of more than 2000 active Scrum and Agile practitioners from the Scrum Alliance membership base, 85 percent of respondents say Scrum continues to improve their work life.
You have the option of bringing us in to train your employees to do Scrum during the week, or to get them to sign up for a 2-day weekend or self-paced training sessions, or we can work out what works best for you.
Different packages of very affordable training are also available for aspiring Scrum professionals.
Contact US to get started if interested, otherwise, keep reading if you need more information.
